2011 Jersey & Sponsorship Discussion

I still don't understand why clubs need 4 different jerseys - it is all about making more money.

Because some shoulderless git with a degree in marketing, pointy shoes, a pocket full of date rape drugs and an oedipus complex told them to.

ah

yes.

money is king

this is similiar to the "supposed" 80's week jersey the sharks wore back in 04

 

[cleary89]

Why don't sharks play with the members jersey as the normal one, names and all?

Would be pretty awesome to have your name on the jersey they play in every week.

ofcourse its all about money but it is necessary for survival of a club too. Jersey sales go a long way towards the clubs making money. Look at the English premier league for example they change the jerseys every year so i wouldnt be complaining about NRL jerseys.

One day I'll get myself a Warriors jersey, surely they'll win the premiership the year I do! Big fan of the Blue/Green Retro jerseys, might have to be one of those.

 

[Patorick]

Sharks should do a 1995-1996 retro.

That was great IMHO.

Is it just me or does the bloke in that picture on the footy card look nothing like David Peachey?

 

[Russell Crowe's Band]

but yeah. thats my all time favourite jersey.

 

[PARRA_FAN]

[Godz Illa]

That card is almost as rare as the framed photo of Sean Connery signed by Roger Moore

I am baffled as to why the Raiders need an alternate jersey at all, how many other jerseys clash with this little lime green number?

Only Souths. Don't get me started on our alternate strips. This season we played souths at Canberra and wore some black monstrosity. I have to say that at the backend of the season we did wear the green for all our matches home and away (that I can remember). Clubs should have an alternate strip, not an away strip, but only wear them when they are away and there is a jersey clash. Hard core fans will still buy an alternate strip.

 

[Timmah]

To be fair Canberra were the side that wore their alternate strip the least and used it in the exact way you suggest. I think it was like 2 or 3 games tops they wore it in, and the only other game their jersey changed for was the R20 Brain Injury Awareness blue and white jersey v Sharks.

Johnsy, every club must have an alternate strip, it's part of the regulations the NRL set down.

I understand that every club must have one. The only plausable reason is for the NRL & club to make a few extra $$$

IMO Canberra’s jersey does not clash with anyones (if anyone is visually impaired then maybe). I just dont see how they clash.

Canberra Souths

 

[nqcowboy87]

the commentators would complain

Yeah side by side their OK but I think it might be an issue when you put them together against the green of the field, television wise. I personally don't have a problem with the clash.

 

[Frailty]

I am annoyed that Souths seem to have free licence to have virtually the same jersey as an alternate (A small amount of black or white does not make it 'alternate')
